## Methodology

Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2). 2 of the 19 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 17 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 0 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere. The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source for each breakdown it prices, in hour (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences for one breakdown), so a page that gives figures for several breakdowns gives one for each and N counts 8 figures, never sentences; 11 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): one row per regulator per requirement - practice or practising hours, CPD hours, the participatory or interactive share, pieces of feedback, reflective accounts, peer discussion, the declarations - each quoted verbatim from the regulator's own requirement page with the cycle it applies to; the derivation is the CROSS-REGULATOR comparison none of them publishes: hours per year once each cycle length is normalised, which regulators count self-directed learning, which audit a sample and at what rate, and what changed since the last read
